Analysis reveals meandering rivers shaped ancient landscapes, suggesting rapid sediment reworking in early strata.

The analysis indicates predominance of meandering river patterns in pre-Silurian strata, not braided ones.
Eighty-seven percent of fluvial bars were poorly preserved, indicating rapid river mobility during 1.2 Ga.
Outcrop scale studies of the Clachtoll Formation illuminate fluvial architecture and sediment dynamics.
Findings challenge traditional views of fluvial systems pre-vegetation, emphasizing high-sinuosity river characteristics.

Valenza et al. (2025) studied this question.
